The Mets and Astros button up the jerseys for one more time this season as they look to turn the lights off for the 2014 season. Last night the Mets won thanks to a walk off homer from Lucas Duda, his 29th of the season, and today they look to win 79 games in a season for the first time since 2010. Today Bartolo Colon takes the mound as he squares off against Nick Tropeano.
Bartolo Colon is 14-13 over 30 games this season pitching 196.1 innings with a 4.08 ERA. Colon is going to have to bounce back from a poor start in Washington where he allowed 4 ER over 6.0 innings. Last year he pitched against Houston four times allowing 3 earned over 6, none over 7, 5 over 4 and 1 over 6. The Astros have the following numbers against Colon:
- Altuve 5-14, 2B
- Dominguez 2-12, 2B
- Castro 6-9, HR
- Carter 1-10, 2B
- Villar 1-5
Nick Tropeano gets the forth start in his rookie season. So far is 1-2 over three games and 16.2 innings with a 3.78 ERA. He is coming off of his worst start of his career where he allowed 4 ER over 6.2 innings. He has not faced the Mets in a major league game and has not faced any players on the Mets in a game.
Lets Go Mets!
